Historia
Train journeys through rolling countryside and cruises across the open ocean might sound like paradise, but when murder strikes mid-journey, they’re anything but. Even on vacation, tensions can bubble beneath the surface, and when the end of the line leads to murder, everyone’s a suspect.

A sad day
Revisado: 08-11-24
It is sad to hear that this will be the last time for a trip to Revalation Space. And I always loved these jaunts into an Agatha Christie style detective story in the middle of my space opera. I will look forward to any future books from Alastair Reynolds, and of course I would buy the phone book read to me by John Lee

This is one of the best audio books done with a cast. When someone asks about audible this is in my top five books I recommend.

During a routine survey mission on an uncolonized planet, Kira finds an alien relic. At first she's delighted, but elation turns to terror when the ancient dust around her begins to move. As war erupts among the stars, Kira is launched into a galaxy-spanning odyssey of discovery and transformation. First contact isn't at all what she imagined, and events push her to the very limits of what it means to be human. While Kira faces her own horrors, Earth and its colonies stand upon the brink of annihilation. Now, Kira might be humanity's greatest and final hope....

Second read through and still love it.
Revisado: 03-23-22
I have read this twice now with a year or so in between and the story along with the narration just come together so very well. I have recommended this book to many others as an example of laying the ground work for a world to exist in.
I don't always need the same characters constantly rehashing the same adventures, but if you create a world like this, I am always hoping to hear new adventures in this world.

Historia
In what is considered one of Heinlein's most hair-raising, thought-provoking, and outrageous adventures, the master of modern science fiction tells the strange story of an even stranger world. It is 21st-century Luna, a harsh penal colony where a revolt is plotted between a bashful computer and a ragtag collection of maverick humans, a revolt that goes beautifully until the inevitable happens. But that's the problem with the inevitable: it always happens.

A true work of art.
Revisado: 04-14-21
Lloyd James absolutely brings this book to life in an amazing effort that takes a great book and makes it art. The characters come to life and become distinct. Heinlein's best work-- a story I have revisited several times.

This is a tale of sorrow, a tale of survival, a tale of one man's search for meaning in his universe, and how that search, and the indomitable will that drove it, gave birth to a legend.

I have loved this journey.
Revisado: 07-10-19
Let's get this part out of the way, Tim Gerard Reynolds has done an amazing job with this book and with the series. Characters are distinctive in their voices as well as the narrative voice. Simply wonderful.
The book, well, as all endings go they are tough, I think the storylines do come together and the characters do get an ending but it does feel a little rushed. I think in considering the entire saga the ending is an OK finale. I felt that the journey was very well done and it hits the target demographic.
I enjoyed the series so much I bought all three books in paperback for my wife to read so we could talk about them together.

But for one small town in Florida, miraculously spared, the struggle is just beginning, as men and women of all backgrounds join together to confront the darkness....

I have had this in my library for a few years now, and I just started it Three days ago and I have powered right through it. The writing is well done and paced quite well. Narrator adds an extra bit by really bringing life to the main character.

Not so very long ago, Eragon - Shadeslayer, Dragon Rider - was nothing more than a poor farm boy, and his dragon, Saphira, only a blue stone in the forest. Now the fate of an entire civilization rests on their shoulders. months of training and battle have brought victories and hope, but they have also brought heartbreaking loss. And still, the real battle lies ahead: they must confront Galbatorix. When they do, they will have to be strong enough to defeat him. And if they cannot, no one can.

An amazing conclusion.
Revisado: 09-25-18
I felt fulfilled at the end of this book and for a book who's characters I have spent so much time with that is the best compliment I can give. To read this book I just started and competed each book again in less than two months, I felt like I was in world with the people. Gerard Doyle does a fantastic job bringing dimension to the characters and world.
